Overview of the Panasonic BL-VT164W

The replacement for the best-selling BL-C230, the Panasonic BL-VT164W integrates motorised pan/tilt movement and wide security coverage, along with wireless connectivity for an easy, flexible installation. The camera supports the latest Wireless-N standard with improved connection range and speed, while with support for Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) the camera can be connected securely in a matter of minutes.

Operators can speak via the camera using the 2-way audio system which features an integrated microphone and speaker so that no additional hardware is required. Additionally, the camera's mobile client is ideal for monitoring on the move, streaming footage to mobile devices.

High quality HD 720p video makes subjects in view easy to identify, and with Electrical Day/Night switching and 3D noise reduction, events can be captured when light levels drop. The BL-VT164W also detects movement even in complete darkness with the built-in heat sensor, triggering events such as image upload or email notifications where cameras without this feature could not.
